The architecture enables the detection and notification of changes over the Web of Data by means of a content-based publish-subscribe mechanism where the W3C SPARQL 1.1 Update and Query languages are fully supported and used respectively by publishers and subscribers. The architecture is built on top of the W3C SPARQL 1.1 Protocol and introduces the SPARQL 1.1 Secure Event protocol and the SPARQL 1.1 Subscribe Language as a means for conveying and expressing subscription requests and notifications. The reference implementation of the architecture offers to developers a design pattern for a modular, scalable and effective application development.

Introduction In the last couple of decades, the World Wide Web, initially conceived of to share human-friendly information, has been growing into a new form: the Semantic Web [1], intended as a global Web of Data, which can be interpreted and processed directly by digital machines. In 2006, Tim Berners-Lee published a document on Linked Data claiming to be “the unexpected re-use of information the value added by the Web” (Tim Berners-Lee, Linked Data, 2006, https://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/ LinkedData.html) and providing a set of rules on how to publish data on the Web (such as URI (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986), HTTP (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616), RDF (https: //www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/) and SPARQL (https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-overview/). In 2009, the Linked Data concept and relative technologies, along with an assessment of the Web of Data evolution, have been further described in [2]. By that time, research efforts on developing Linked Data have been made in several directions, including standards (e.g., SPARQL 1.1 Protocol (https://www. w3.org/TR/sparql11-protocol/), SPARQL 1.1 Query language (https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11- query/), SPARQL 1.1 Update language (https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-update/), JSON-LD (https: //json-ld.org/spec/latest/json-ld/), Linked Data Platform 1.0 (https://www.w3.org/TR/ldp/)), ontologies and vocabularies (e.g., OWL (https://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-primer/), CIDOC-CRM (http://www.cidoc-crm.org/Version/version-6.2.1), W3C OWL Time (https://www.w3.org/TR/ owl-time/), Semantic Sensor Network Ontology (https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-ssn/), schema.org Future Internet 2018, 10, 36; doi:10.3390/fi10040036 www.mdpi.com/journal/futureinternet Future Internet 2018, 10, 36 2 of 33 (http://schema.org/), RDF Data Cube Vocabulary (https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-data-cube/), just to mention a few), RDF stores and SPARQL endpoints (e.g., Jena (https://jena.apache.org/index.html), Fuseki (https://jena.apache.org/documentation/fuseki2/), Virtuoso (https://virtuoso.openlinksw. com/), Blazegraph (https://www.blazegraph.com/, Stardog (https://www.stardog.com/) and Amazon Nepture (https://aws.amazon.com/neptune/)), tools (e.g., for ontologies editing, like Protegè (https://protege.stanford.edu/) or RDF graphs visualization, like LodLive (http://en.lodlive.it/) and Visual Data Web (http://www.visualdataweb.org/index.php)) and Semantic Web portals (e.g, DBpedia (http://wiki.dbpedia.org/), WiKidata (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page)). The adoption of Semantic Web technologies follows two main trends: the first tries to exploit their potential to create autonomous systems, in its widest meaning, while the second focuses on solutions that take advantage of the flexible RDF data model. The use of Semantic Web technologies in autonomous systems enables machines to generate, publish and consume new information autonomously (e.g., from simple autonomous systems adopted in IoT applications, to complex systems for the autonomous analysis of a huge amount of data that would be impossible for a human operator). At the same time, the adoption of a flexible data model is intended to support the applications where it is difficult to define the knowledge-base and its model once and for ever. In fact, the adoption of a static model is often not reasonable, because information is living and evolves in time. While relational databases intrinsically do not provide this level of flexibility, the flexibility offered by RDF ensures that the unanticipated and unexpected evolution of the knowledge base can be integrated on the fly. These two trends appear to be interdependent, and in this paper, we propose an enabling technology that could allow their convergence. Focusing on data, the heterogeneity of data produced and consumed on the Web is very high, and the amount of data globally processed is huge (i.e., Big Data): social data collected from social networks (e.g., Facebook, Twitter), medical data (e.g., Medical Subject Headings RDF (https://id.nlm. nih.gov/mesh/), W3C Semantic Web Health Care and Life Sciences Interest Group (https://www.w3. org/2001/sw/hcls/), HealthData.gov (https://www.healthdata.gov/)), scientific data from several science fields (e.g., NASA Global Change Master Directory (https://gcmd.gsfc.nasa.gov/), Science Environment for Ecological Knowledge (http://seek.ecoinformatics.org/), NeuroCommons project (http://neurocommons.org/page/Main_Page), NASA Semantic Web for Earth and Environmental Terminology (https://sweet.jpl.nasa.gov/), Bio2RDF (http://bio2rdf.org/)), e-commerce information (e.g., Best Buy, Sears, Kmart, O’Reilly publishing, Overstock.com), governmental data (e.g., Opening Up Government (http://data.gov.uk/), Tetherless World Constellation - Linking Open Government Data (https://logd.tw.rpi.edu/), Data-gov WiKi (https://data-gov.tw.rpi.edu/wiki)) and human knowledge (e.g., Wikipedia). Also from this perspective, the use of Semantic Web technologies for Big Data processing and analysis follows the previously-mentioned trends: on the one hand, software platforms research, analyze and harvest with different levels of autonomy the Web to provide enhanced and enriched results; on the other hand, specific applications are developed to consume, publish or combine information for the purpose of a vertical domain. The solution we present is this paper is information agnostic and able to manage data sources gathered from different and heterogeneous domains, providing support for standard Web protocols (i.e., HTTP and WebSocket). Furthermore, we extend the concept of Wed of Data to applications that become the actionable extension of the Semantic Web. Nowadays, the Web of Data is becoming a Web of Dynamic Data, where detecting, communicating and tracking the evolution of data changes play crucial roles and open new research questions [3,4]. Moreover, detecting data changes is functional to enable the development of distributed Web of Data applications where software agents may interact and synchronize through the knowledge base [5,6]. The need for solutions on detecting and communicating data changes over the Web of Data has been emphasized in the past few years by research focused on enabling interoperability in the Internet of Things through the use of Semantic Web technologies (like the ones shown in [7–10] just to cite a few). Last but not least, an attempt made by W3C is represented by the Web of Things (https://www.w3. Future Internet 2018, 10, 36 3 of 33 org/WoT/) working group and by the Linked Data Notifications (https://www.w3.org/TR/ldn/) released in 2017 that provide the recommendation to enable notifications over Linked Data. In this paper, we propose a decentralized Web-based software architecture, named SEPA (SPARQL Event Processing Architecture) built on top of the authors’ experience acquired developing an open interoperability platform for smart space applications [11–21]. SEPA derives and extends the architecture presented in [22] through the use of standard Linked Data technologies and protocols. It enables the detection and communication of changes over the Web of Data by means of a content-based publish-subscribe mechanism where the W3C SPARQL 1.1 Update and Query languages are fully supported respectively by publishers and subscribers. SEPA is built on top of the SPARQL 1.1 Protocol and introduces the SPARQL 1.1 Secure Event protocol and the SPARQL 1.1 Subscribe Language as a means for conveying and expressing subscription requests and notifications. In particular, assuming an event as “any change in an RDF store”, SEPA has been mainly designed to enable event detection and distribution. The core element of SEPA is its broker (see Figure1): it implements a content-based publish-subscribe mechanism where publishers and subscribers use respectively SPARQL 1.1 Updates (i.e., to generate events) and SPARQL 1.1 Queries (i.e., to subscribe to events). In particular, at subscription time, subscribers receive the SPARQL query results. Subsequent notifications about events (i.e., changes in the RDF knowledge base) are expressed in terms of added and removed query results since the previous notification. With this approach, subscribes can easily track the evolution of the query results (i.e., the context), with the lowest impact on the network bandwidth (i.e., the entire results set is not sent every time, but just the delta of the results).

That said, this Bill of Rights is not a document “carved in stone” (or written on paper). It is a blog post, and it is intended to spur conversation and debate, which will naturally lead to tweaks of the language. So, let’s get the dialogue going and get as many of the major stakeholders on board as we can! A Bill of Rights for Users of the Social Web We publicly assert that all users of the social web are entitled to certain fundamental rights, specifically: Ownership of their own personal information, including: • their own profile data • the list of people they are connected to • the activity stream of content they create; • Control of whether and how such personal information is shared with others; and • Freedom to grant persistent access to their personal information to trusted external sites.

Since its beginnings in the late 1980s, the success of bioinformatics has been associated with rapid developments in computer sci- ence, not least in the relevant hardware and software. In addition, biotechno- logical advances, such as have been witnessed in the fields of genome sequencing, microarrays, and proteomics, have contributed enormously to the bioinformatics boom. Finally, the simultaneous breakthrough and success of the World Wide Web has facilitated the worldwide distribution of and easy access to bioinformatics tools. Today, bioinformatics techniques, such as the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) algorithm, pairwise and multiple sequence comparisons, queries of biological databases, and phylogenetic analyses, have become familiar tools to the natural scientist. Many of the software products that were initially unin- tuitive and cryptic have matured into relatively simple and user-friendly prod- ucts that are easily accessible over the Internet.

We expect the same from the apps and transport systems we use to traverse our cities on a daily basis. Do public transport sector APIs meet this new demand? A number of public transport providers have been at the forefront of the open data movement for years. Across the globe many of these transport providers now offer programmatic access to their data via REST APIs. For some, it’s been almost a decade. As hardware and software have become more sophisticated, so too have the demands Matthew O’Riordan of developers working with data of all kinds. REST APIs brought about a revolutionary change in the way organizations Founder and CEO Ably exchange data and the way in which developers create new applications and experiences. In transport, this saw the creation of CityMapper, Moovit, and many others. But REST APIs only satisfy request/response cycles and aren’t well-suited to streaming live updates to third-party apps and services when latency of updates really matters - like with travel updates. As a result of this, at Ably and across the wider realtime ecosystem, we’re seeing developers seek out Realtime APIs in many aspects of their work - largely driven by end-user demand.

Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Sören Auer 2. Gutachter: Dr. Herbert Van de Sompel Tag der Promotion 2020-03-03 Erscheinungsjahr 2020 Abstract This thesis is about research communication in the context of the Web. I analyse literature which reveals how researchers are making use of Web technologies for knowledge dissemination, as well as how individuals are disempowered by the centralisation of certain systems, such as academic publishing platforms and social media. I share my findings on the feasibility of a decentralised and interoperable information space where researchers can control their identifiers whilst fulfilling the core functions of scientific communication: registration, awareness, certification, and archiving. The contemporary research communication paradigm operates under a diverse set of sociotechnical constraints, which influence how units of research information and personal data are created and exchanged. Economic forces and non-interoperable system designs mean that researcher identifiers and research contributions are largely shaped and controlled by third-party entities; participation requires the use of proprietary systems. From a technical standpoint, this thesis takes a deep look at semantic structure of research artifacts, and how they can be stored, linked and shared in a way that is controlled by individual researchers, or delegated to trusted parties. Further, I find that the ecosystem was lacking a technical Web standard able to fulfill the awareness function of research communication.

    UN/CEFACT Orchestration eB-MoU/MG Webinar Internet of Things Ian Watt UN/CEFACT Vice Chair: International Supply Chain Program Development Area [email protected] UNECE – UN/CEFACT 12th. September 2018 (CET 10:00-11:30 International Supply Chain Programme Development Area Domains: (ISCO & SCM&P & T&L) ISCO: International Supply Chain Orchestration Domain SCM&P: Supply Chain & Procurement Domain T&L: Transport and Logistics Domain 2 Orchestration Domain Background Information • Over the past decades, UN/CEFACT has developed a number of standards including business process models, XML schema and core components. The general overarching technical specification of the UN/CEFACT Modeling Methodology (UMM) was intended to guide much of this work. This guidance was useful for electronic messages which correspond to complete paper documents. • Today, data exchange is being conceived as snippets of information through event-driven data exchanges instead of exchanging complete ‘document’ equivalent messages. This is evident in projects such as the Reference Data Models, the Data Pipeline, Blockchain or Internet of Things. These new methods of data exchange require new methods of considering how these exchanges can work together and complement each other for a same transaction. 3 Orchestration Domain Scope The scope of the international supply chain orchestration Domain is to support the efforts of all UN/CEFACT related projects to deliver their semantic specifications in a way that suits implementers of web platforms and pipeline /IoT projects as well as traditional document exchange projects. To achieve that, we will • Develop an architecture model that presents the Supply Chain Reference Data Model (SCRDM) and Multi-Modal Transport Reference Data Model (MMT) as a set of granular information resources with clearly defined state lifecycles • For each web resource, explore possibilities such as an Open API 3.0 specification that represents the resource as a RESTful API with JSON data payload and JSON-LD links to related resources.
